    Overall a great experience. I was entertaining some colleagues and a business partner in town for a conference as a local and they thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Several of our dishes were great. Most notably the hot oil seared salmon that our server recommended and spicy garlic noodles. I wasnt really a fan of the meatball and spicy shrimp plates (but I may be biased having had similar dishes in the past) We arrived almost 30 minutes and the host Erika was exceptionally welcoming and got us seated promptly which was awesome. Definitely would come back, great for a date night or entertaining guests.

    Food was awesome, big selection and everyone loved their meal which included salads, pasta dishes (Pappardelle alla Vodka so yum) and filet. We sat inside as it was cool out but it was noisy; two large parties made it almost impossible to hear my table mates so maybe outside is a better option? Other than that it was superb!
